Committee members try to have a stall at as many family history fairs and social events as possible within reasonable travelling distance from their homes (and sometimes further!). It's always a pleasure to meet members and hear their own stories at first hand.
If there is a meeting near you, do visit and introduce yourself. We also welcome help from other members to run our stall, so do let us know if you'd like to help. You don't have to be an expert.
We have attended fairs in Scotland and Wales as well as several in England. The largest family history fairs (Olympia and Barbican) tend to take place in London
If there is sufficient interest, we are keen hold regional meetings or attend regional family history fairs, particularly in Manchester, Scotland and South Wales. If you would be willing to help organise a meeting in your region, please contact the Chair.
Italian Church Procession July 2011
It rather wet at times and the first one is during a wet spell
(Kay, Sally, Sheila Collins and Aubrey).
Note the wet plastic over our books.
I finally met my 5th cousin, Paolo Morini-Sorrentino, his mother Loretta and wife Elodie.
We've been in touch for several years via the Society.
